I received from the thoughtful and talented StickerChic87 today! Unfortunately, I am unable to take and post photos, so I am going to post descriptions of the items, and I will PM StickerChic87 and ask if she can post photos.

Here goes!

1) A very nice note! 2) 9 tags of varying design with cream colored ribbon attached for me to use on my swap packages! 3) Two altered puzzle pieces...one with a lime green background with a flower on top, and the other sky blue with dots, a tag that says 'smile' and a ladybug on a mini clothespin attached! The bonus is that they are magnets!4) A handbound journal with olive green covers and a HUGE cockroach on the front for my husband-he's an exterminator. 5) A larger, rectangular shaped journal for me with turquoise and white flowers on it on a brown background (one of my fav color combos) and it says on the front: 'Regaining my sanity, one stitch at a time.' Ain't that the truth! I may just get that tattooed on my arm! 6) A 'Starbucks' themed journal for my son! (He's not home yet, but when he gets it, he'll be THRILLED!)7) 7 themed notecards/envelopes for me! The themes are: Tetris, ice cream, cupcakes, and LADYBUGS!!!!!!! TWO AUTOGRAPH BOOKS for my daughters! We are going to Disney next week (It's our first full family vacation, first time on a plane, etc...really big deal for us!) and I had asked StickerChic87 if she could make Disney themed autograph books for my girls-my son has been to Disney before and had gotten the storebought book and it was expensive. StickerChick87 came thru with a 'Belle' themed one for my younger daughter, and a 'Dalmation' themed one for my older daughter! AND, she made sure to send out the swap package early so that we would get it in time to use for the trip! (BTW, the girls LOVE them, and hugged them when I handed them to them! )

Thank you so very, very, much for the thoughtful, awesome, lovely, generous swap package! You were teriffic to swap with, and I hope you like your items just as much! (I will PM you with the DC# when it's sent.)

Now that Miss Barbara has received (that was fast, only took two days!) Ill post some pics for her! Ill try to put them in the same order she described them in.

Altered puzzle piece magnets:

Bug journal for her husband. (I had the hardest time with this one, looking online to find a pic of a bug, they were giving me the willies!! Yuck ):

Miss Barbara's journal:

Journal for her son:

Notecards (I'll just do thumbnails since there are a few):

Autograph books for her girls:

(Miss Barbara- I dont remember if I wrote in your note or not, but in their autograph books I made sure to put that white acrylic paper over each of the pages so that the autographs wouldnt leak through. I didnt know if the Disney characters used sharpies or ink pens or what.)

Oh, and all the journals are done in the coptic stitch-got LOTS of practice!

(Sorry the pics are so dark, I had to take them at night so I could send off in the morning.)

Those are awesome StickerChic!! I am so excited to be your other partner I'm actually taking a quick break from crocheting to check this out, so back to hookin'!

Haha thanks! Ive taken a few days off, but today is the day I get going on your goodies. I actually started a little bit the other night though and Im really excited...just have to figure out the best way to put this particular item together

I received from mimiw yesterday!!! She sent me the most amazing, beautiful stuff! Don't believe me? Feast your eyes on this gorgeous project bag:She designed this herself! That, my friends, is what talent loooks like. I can't wait to use it to crochet! My yarnie friends will be so jealous, especially when they see THESE:A matching crochet hook roll and a wallet for stitch markers, etc. I've been papercrafting for years, but I started crocheting recently so I've been dying for a hook roll. This one is so perfect!And lastly but not leastly:A quilted mug rug! These happy colors and patterns make me feel like a kid again! Look at the lovely details:And a group pic because everything's so lovely and wonderful:Thank you, mimiw! This was such a great haul! I better get back to work on your stuff, pronto! Cue swap anxiety.
